Ingredients

4 servings

2 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup chopped celery
3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed, about 4 cups)
1 apple (peeled, cored and chopped)
1 inch fresh ginger (peeled)
1 teaspoon curry powder
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled, for garnish, optional)
1 handful croutons (for garnish, optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (for garnish)

Steps

Melt the butter in a large pot or saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and celery and cook until tender.
Stir in the broth, sweet potatoes, apple, ginger, curry powder, and ⅛ teaspoon each salt & black pepper.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are very tender.
Remove the ginger and puree the soup with a hand blender.
Add heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes longer. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Top with crumbled bacon, croutons, and chives if desired.
